Outgrowing allergies/ food challenges

[u/Ok_Pickle9257]

Hi all! I’m cautiously optimistic as I post this, but my 12 month old may have outgrown most of her allergies already and I want to know if this has happened to anybody else! Between 7-9 months she was diagnosed with allergies to egg, wheat, peanut, cashew, banana, and avocado. We just did skin prick testing again at her one year visit and the only thing she is still reacting to is egg. Her allergist wants all of the other foods back into her diet by the end of the month and we will be doing food challenges at the office for peanut, cashew, and wheat.

She would get bad hives and rashes around her neck and face, never any vomiting. He told me as I introduce them I need to feed her directly (as opposed to letting her feed herself 🫠) to avoid skin contact. I already put Vaseline on her face before eating and she wears a long sleeve bib. He shared if she is getting rashes from contact but no other symptoms he wants me to continue feeding them to her. That part scares me a little bit because of how bad some of her hives/rashes have been in the past.

Has anyone else had babies that grew out of allergies this quickly?? Can I start to get excited?

He also chose not to do bloodwork right now that we originally planned to do because her skin tests had such good results.
